How much is Choice Go Handicap worth?
ChessWhiz and dnerra will try it out on a 9x9. ChessWhiz gets black, 5 stones and 5.5 komi, dnerra gets Choice Go Handicap.
W21: Oh this is so mean.
ChessWhiz: Ack! I resign.
B18: I have to hold this together somehow...
W17: I take the other one again.
B16: I'm getting the same feeling. I think a good handicap may even be 7 or 8...
W15: I'll go on attack. I start getting the feeling that 5 stones may not be enough to make up for the Choice. What do you think?
B14: Take your pick. Do you want me to be overconcentrated or attackable? (Alternative was at a)
W13: Ok, ok...
B12: Yeah, yeah, stop bragging and take those three stones.
W11: "...how we can mess this up" says the man who cannot make use of atari :-)
: Let's see how much we can mess this up.
: Well, otherwise 5 stones handicap wouldn't be quite fair...
: I can tell I'm not going to win all the fights.
: Sorry, I do take the other one :-)
: Hey, can I play on both x's this time? ;-)
: So far, so good.
: Dito!
: Good luck!
